Re: [gtk-list] double buffering

[bratsche dfw net]

Basically, what I did was to create a GtkDrawingArea and a GdkPixmap, plus
any additional GdkPixmap structures you need to store frames (mine are all
in a single GdkPixmap, and I reference them according to frame). Then,    
from the "expose" event attached to your GtkDrawingArea, you 1/ clear the
GdkPixmap, 2/ draw your new frame to the GdkPixmap, and 3/ draw the
GdkPixmap directly to the GtkDrawingArea.

I have an example of this, although it's in a small application so you may
need to disregard the other code in it. The source to it is at
http://www.dfw.net/~bratsche/applet-dialer.c and applet-dialer.h. While
the program isn't quite finished, the animation seems to work correctly.
